I think we can start the paperwork for Anthony Jacob Chavez’s Darwin Award:
Albuquerque police say an alleged probation violator threatened a deputy U.S. marshal with a BB gun before the deputy marshal shot him.
Authorities have said Deputy Marshal Kenneth Daniel shot and killed 27-year-old Anthony Jacob Chavez at a home on July 2.
Chavez was on probation on a conviction for transporting people illegally in the United States. The conviction resulted from a 2010 arrest in Luna County.
I’m tempted to write Chavez’s death off as a suicide-by-cop. Even those individuals with room temperature IQs know that pointing a firearm—real or replica—at a law enforcement officer is a Very Bad Idea™.
